THE pulmonary circulation is of paramount importance in failure of the heart. The presence of dyspnea, orthopnea and hemoptysis and a diminution in vital capacity imply a profound change in the blood ...

In normal patients, the right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure and the pulmonary artery (PA) systolic pressures are equal (15-20 mmHg), while the diastolic pressures differ, ie, the RV diastolic ...

Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) increases during late life and predicts the development of dyspnea, highlighting the importance of risk factor assessment and control over the life course, ...

Parker et al. 4 reported immediate changes in the respective pressures in 21 patients during mitral commissurotomy — usually an immediate drop. The percentage reduction was higher for the pressure in ...

We studied the cross-sectional associations of left heart structure and systolic and diastolic function with echocardiographically measured pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Mean pulmonary artery ...

More than three-quarters of patients undergoing TAVR present with some degree of pulmonary hypertension, but this has no bearing on subsequent mortality, researchers have found. Rather, what matters ...

Association between hemoglobin (Hb) improvement and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients (pts) with myelofibrosis (MF) and anemia: Post hoc pooled analysis of momelotinib (MMB) phase 3 trials.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved the CardioMEMS HF System that measures the pulmonary artery (PA) pressures and heart rates of patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ...

PAH has been shown to be related to adipocyte dysfunction, obesity, and estrogens. CYP1B1 is highly expressed in adipose tissue and overexpressed in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in patients ...
